Description
Ayyappa is standing with one hand resting on his hip and the other raised in the abhaya mudra. He wears a beautiful garland around his neck. The garland represents grace. Ayyappan is the son of Shiva and Mohini, who is a female form of Lord Vishnu. Lord Ayyappan has a wonderful temple Sabarimala in Kerala, is the site of the most famous Ayyappa temple in the world and is visited by more than 50 million devotees each year. The sculpture has beautiful dark wood hues which show the veins of the wood.

Ayyappa is a one of a kind sculpture hand carved by the wood artists of South India. The Ayyappa pictured is the only Ayyappa statue Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this Ayyappa you will receive the exact sculpture pictured. Ayyappa is truly one of a kind as there is only one statue made exactly like this!

Care

"The use of a wood polish will keep the wood looking fresh and the colors vibrant."

Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:

Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up

To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture

We prefer Old English to polish and buff our statues. The use of a wood polish like Old English will keep the wood looking fresh and keep the colors looking vibrant. For natural wood and painted wooden statues we recommend Old English for lighter woods. For darker wood statues we recommend Old English for darker woods. Lotus Sculpture cleans and polishes each wooden statue prior to shipping them to the customer.

We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time.
